The most beautiful stories to tell are almost always born by chance, and often have magical, enchanted, and eternal places as a frame. And this story that tells about Kanakis family, begins within the Pomegranate tree and the walls of a farmhouse where time passes slowly between history and nature, between the scents and traditions of an island, always lush and welcoming. Against the background of this evocative natural setting that has seduced artists and inspired poets, stands Kanakis, a legendary stay in Assos, the ideal place to unplug, take off your watch, and live a flâneur holiday, at a slow pace without commitments or plans. All the charm of a luxury holiday marked by simple and authentic pleasures, between a romantic aperitif in the background of a rosy sunset and some moments of pure well-being.

I am a Professional Chef born on the island of Kefalonia and I am the second generation at Kanakis Aparments. With many years of experience in fine dining restaurants and luxury Hotels around the world I returned to host Kanakis guests and cook for them on my island by evaluating every raw material of Kefalonia. With respect of nature and focusing on sustainability my clear goal its just making Kanakis visitors as passionate as me for hospitality and local gastronomy. My philosophy is based on Greek hospitality and the main goal is to create unforgettable memories, unique moments and wide smiles.

Assos attracts visitors with lush forests, turquoise waters, colourful homes, and vibrant flowering foliage. The natural beauty of Assos is immediately evident with traditional architecture, a peaceful landscape and the beautiful surrounding pebbled beaches. A little wander around the narrow alleys reveals colourful houses with blooming bougainvillea, lovely paths and old churches. The visit to the castle requires a long walk uphill amoung olive tree forests until you reach an archway. It is idyllic here and perfect if you just want to enjoy some slow travel to really enjoy some time in nature.
